Looks like it is time for a message since our lives have drastically changed in the last year!  We sold our condo in Yakima, WA and have purchased a home in  Catalina, AZ, north of Tucson..  We have been volunteering for the past 5 years with SIL, a branch of Wycliffe Bible Translators, and decided it was time to move closer to ministry.  Our daughter, Tami, still lives in Whitefish, MT &, of our 4 grandkids, 3 are now in college - Biola. Westmont & Bryce.  I still spend my spare time quilting, mostly charity quilts now days, and enjoy playing piano for events at SIL.  Al is busy making our new home "ours" with painting, repairing, shelving, hooks, yard work, etc.  Also, I have hung many birdfeeders in our backyard and spend an inordinate amount of time watching them - and money buying birdseed!  So far, I have documented 19 different birds coming in for a meal.  And, I am learning about planting cactus in our yard - many trials and errors!  We welcome guests so we would love to entertain any Class of 1960 visitors!

We are sort of thinking about a trip back to Bemidji in the summer of 2024 and I am wondering if the Class of 1960 is planning any kind of a get-to-gather.  I know it is a year beffore our 65th, so it may not be in the works.  But - if there is something being planned, could you announce it early enough that we could plan to be there at that time?  Just something to think about thinking ahead if we want to actually do the trip.  Thanks!
